There are litterally tens of thousands of registered iris cultivars in the world. There's bound to be a pink one that's to your liking. You just have to do your own research. Just google 'Buy iris online shop' or something and you'll eventually get there.

We'll point you in the right direction, but we're not going to just hand it to you on a silver platter... Glare

'Magical' is a strong growing pink iris and a Wister Medal winner. Good place to start. Joe Ghio has hybridized many beautiful pink irises.

Schreiner's bred some nice pinks, also - eg. "I Pink I Can", "Magical Encounter" and "Pinking Of You".
I'm not sure how they will perform, but they are very pink.

Our iris database search feature is at https://garden.org/plants/grou... .

If you are interested in tall beardeds, just check that box. Then either check the color box "pink" or write "pink" into the color description check box. Maybe narrow the field by checking "award of merit" under awards. Hit submit, and then go hog wild!

And then there is the oldie but goodie, Vanity, which is still ranked #55 in the annual Tall Bearded Symposium after all these years. It was introduced in 1975. It has fewer ruffles than modern irises, but oh, what a beauty! Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Vanity') . It's a true pink.
BB Code:

And if you like a little glowing peach in your pink, consider Beverly Sills. It's still ranked #23 in the above- mentioned poll, despite having been introduced eons ago in 1979. Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Beverly Sills') .


Scroll way down on each of those two database pages to see all the photos people have taken of these.

These two have staying power.
